Guardiola pays glowing tribute to the late Pele, a national hero of Brazil.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, paid a lengthy homage to the late Pele, a legend of Brazilian football, stating that his legacy could not be matched. Following a protracted battle with cancer, Pele passed away on Thursday. Since then, thousands of tributes from prominent football figures have poured in.

During a press conference on Friday, Guardiola was among those who praised Pele as a legend. Pele's enduring No. 10 jersey, which the Spaniard claims would not have had the same impact on the modern game without the three-time World Cup champion, is how Guardiola opted to honor Pele.

Indeed, its a very sad moment for us to loose a legend like this.

May he rest in peace and may we experience more legends like him apart from Ronaldo and Messi.
